Stepheson's 10-day contract expired Tuesday, and the Grizzlies do not intend to re-sign him, Rob Fischer of Sports 56 WHBQ reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stepheson appeared in four games for Memphis, tallying 20 total points with 26 rebounds and four assists. His best showing came in a loss to Houston on Mar. 14, when he grabbed 15 boards and put up 12 points, albeit on 5-of-17 shooting. Stepheson did not play in either of the Grizzlies' last two games, however, an indication that coach Dave Joerger may not have been particularly impressed with his performance.

Stepheson recorded 12 points (5-17 FG, 2-8 FT) and 15 rebounds in 25 minutes during the Grizzlies' 130-81 loss to the Rockets on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Stepheson managed to foul out in just 25 minutes of action, but he also turned in a strong double-double with career highs in scoring and rebounding. Through two games with the Grizzlies, he is averaging eight points, 10.5 rebounds, one assist, one block, and 0.5 steals in 22 minutes per contest. However, it's unlikely those minutes will remain steady once some of the team's veterans start to get healthy.

Stepheson is expected to sign with the Grizzlies, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stepheson's second 10-day deal with the Clippers is set to expire over the weekend, and Los Angeles has already announced that it will not sign Stephenson for the remainder of the season. As a result, Memphis will be able to bring him in on a 10-day deal after receiving an injury hardship exception with a number of key players unavailable. It's unclear exactly when Stepheson will officially join the team, but he's not expected to be available Saturday.

Stepheson will not be re-signed by the Clippers after his second 10-day contract expires Saturday, Dan Woike of the OC Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stepheson has logged only 12 total minutes across four games since initially signing with the Clippers midway through last month. Rather than signing him for the remainder of the season, the Clippers will opt to keep an open roster spot, which they could use to potentially bring on another D-League player.

Stepheson will sign a second 10-day contract with the Clippers on Wednesday, Dan Woike of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blake Griffin (hand) isn't considered close to returning and the Clippers don't apparently have anything brewing to add a big man via the buyout market, so Stepheson will stick with the team a little longer to provide some depth in the frontcourt. He's been rather invisible during his stay with the Clippers thus far, making two appearances and averaging one point and one rebound over 4.5 minutes.

Stepheson will sign a 10-day contract with the Clippers on Thursday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stephenson has fared well with the D-League's Iowa Energy this season, leading the league in rebounding at nearly 14 per game while contributing 15.9 points and 1.4 blocks per game. He's unlikely to see much of a role for the Clippers, but he'll likely take the roster spot of Jeff Ayres, whose own 10-day contract with the team is set to expire.
